Colorectal Cancer Screening Webinar

July 31, 2013

12 pm – 1 pm, Central Time

Minnesota’s statewide rate for colorectal cancer screening is only 68%, with a range from 97% to 14%. We know that as a community we can do better.

In this webinar, experts from the American Cancer Society, a community quality improvement consultant, and a representative from Renville County Hospitals and Clinics will offer tools and tactics to help you improve screening rates. This will be an interactive webinar inviting participants to share their expertise, experiences, best practices, and innovations for increasing cancer screenings and improving quality in their clinics.

The recording of the 2013 Colorectal Cancer Screening Webinar is available online at Stratis Health (scroll down to July 31, 2013), or you can sign-in to the webinar website.
